You're gonna need to leave the equalizer, I don't think there's anything that'll replace the hole. You're gonna need a new face plate, check the previous thread I replied too.

I left the equalizer dead in it's place. Install with the new faceplate and it should look like this:

They should connect to the two connectors you mentioned just inside the dash from where you removed the old tape deck.

gotta tell you it sounds like your making an awful lot of work for yourself.

Most folks round here pull the eq and put in a new deck and run it.

I'm sure you could run 2 decks, but your going to be doing alot of wiring, plus I'm not sure how that would tie in, 2 head units trying to send signals to the same speakers, I know that don't work well with PA systems can't imagine it's good for truck stereos.
